The Marine Corps is committed to providing the Nation its expeditionary “Force of Choice” for tomorrow’s challenges.
Threat-Uncertain-Chaotic-Austere
“The Marine Corps of 2025 will fight and win our Nation’s battles with multicapable MAGTFs, either from the sea or in sustained operationsashore.” Marine Corps Vision & Strategy 2025
• Flexible and responsive• In light of the changing security environment and the Marine
Corps’ expeditionary nature the strategy will;– Take maximum advantage of existing platforms– Emphasize a mixed fleet approach that spans the “iron
triangle”– Integrate MRAP into the fleet mix– Transition to a fleet of tactical vehicles that have scalable
protection (integrated A-kit and armor B kits)• We will do this through a series of Decision Points that
examine changing conditions

• Standardized Command and Control Interfaces– Standard/ scaleable Graphical User Interfaces– Open-architecture/ Software Reprogrammable C2 links– Standardized sensor data formats/ interfaces– “Plug-and-Play”/ Replaceable Air Vehicle
• RF Bandwidth congestion reduction– On aircraft/ autonomous sensor data management– Multi-band/ tunable C2/ sensor links
• Sensor data management/ dissemination– Autonomous Processing– Demand-pull Dissemination– Demand-pull Archiving
• Plug-and-Play Payloads designed to defined SWaP constraints and standardized interfaces
Desired UAS End-State

• Cargo UAS –emerging requirements for unmanned logistics delivery
• Persistent Strike- Developing tactic to maintain weapons platform on station for extended period without extensive sortie rate (Hunter-Killer teams)
• Adverse weather and foliage penetration capabilities
• Wide Area Surveillance • Interoperability and Network capabilities
Future Capabilities
Focus on the Individual Marine. The individual Marine will remain our most important warfighting asset…
